“We are thrilled to bring together so many nationally recognized authors for our inaugural Johns Creek Literary Fair,” said Mayor John Bradberry. “Our community shares a love of lifetime learning and reading. I know our community will enjoy this celebration of great literature and storytelling.”
The Johns Creek Literary Fair is free to attend and light hors d’ oeuvres, wine and other beverages will be available for purchase.
In between author presentations, live music will be provided by Music Conservatory at the Johns Creek Center for the Arts and their Musik21 students. Students from their renowned music program have been invited to perform in international music courses in Austria, Finland, France, Poland, and Spain.
